"The Bible may be likened to a magnificent diamond, glistening with many brilliant colors all at the same time. And although the different hues often appear to be contradictory, when you view the totality of the light emanating from the diamond, you begin to appreciate how complementary they really are. Thus the sages of the Talmud understood that there are many possible truths contained in each biblical statement, each adding its unique melody to the magnificent symphony of the whole, synthesizing not in conflicting dissonance but in holy dialectic. Torah Lights is Rabbi Shlomo Riskin's analysis and original contemplations on life, love and family in the biblical book of Genesis.". Signed Inscription by the Auth.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Exploring the issues of the separation between religion and state in Israel, this book by Knesset parliament member Rabbi Dov Lipman lays out his vision for the future. Lipman was elected to the Yesh Atid party, which, though largely secular, calls for a more moderate and open form of Judaism. His is a voice of reason in the religious debates and battles that have threatened to undermine Jewish unity in Israel and around the world. Lipman has observed firsthand the polarization, extremism, and discrimination that have been on the upswing in Israel, and his book examines specific practical issues rather than general theological questions in the Israeli political scene. As the only ultra-Orthodox member of the current coalition, he offers a unique insight into the internal societal struggles of the Jewish community as well as the hope for a better future for both Israel and Jews around the world.

The inner world of a healthy child is filled with wonder, awe, and faith in a fair and just world.

In this unique guidebook, Dr Norman Fried gives valuable insights into the lives of children who have been victimised by chaos and disease, and teaches how to help them grow within the context of a loving, accepting, and ethical bond. Using these examples, along with writings of Rabbi Joseph Soloveitchik on religion and psychology and the wisdom of trauma specialists, Dr Fried shows how divine connections can serve as an inspiration, as well as a template, for other healthy interactions in a world that needs repair.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Over the last several hundred years, the recitation of Havineinu, an abridged version of the daily prayer usually recited in pressing situations, has functionally ceased. This study addressed the legal analysis used to explain that change. Though the shift in perspective has been gradual, the book argues that the resulting profound change in the interpretation of halachic texts has had a direct influence on the understanding and the practice of Jewish law. It examines the sources and processes that have shaped the contours of Havineinu over time, exemplifying the subtle changes that occur in the development of halacha as a result of chiddush , or innovation. A study of how change in the interpretation of halachic texts has had a direct influence on the understanding and practice of Jewish law. "Havineinu" was once a useful, well-known prayer said in pressing situations. Over the last several hundred years, the recitation of this prayer has functionally ceased.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. The Torah Commentary of Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach provides a glimpse into the unusual way in which the late Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach received and transmitted Torah. It also aids the reader in bridging "Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach the great composer/singer" and "Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach the great scholar/teacher." Those who sing his songs, but do not learn his Torah, only sing half a song. When Reb Shlomo speaks of Abraham and Sara, you are sure he is speaking about his own grandparents. When delving into the lives of Isaac, Rebecca, Jacob, Rachel and Leah, it is as if he is speaking of his own parents. The teachings in this book of commentary are not just meant to be read -- they are intended to be enjoyed and experienced as "holy music." Ultimately, they are intended as a lesson in living a "holy life." Wherever Reb Shlomo traveled in the world, he brought several suitcases of holy books with him. This book makes Reb Shlomo's teachings accessible to help us carry on our journey through life. This volume covers the books of Leviticus (Vayikra) and Numbers (Bamidbar).
